Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 685
The night was silent, the entire Fancheng seemed to be silent, and endless darkness shrouded it.

"Ji Gong, take care!"

In the lobby, Wenpin turned and left. He finally made a decision, not only for himself, but also for Jingzhou. Fancheng could no longer be defended. He had to return to Xiangyang in advance to gather troops and deploy Xiangyang's defense line.

"Ji Gong, if you don't go, I won't go!"

Zhang Hu's body was like an iron tower, standing on the side, his face with sharp water chestnut angles revealed a touch of determination.

"Yanzhi, the old man is already a mortal person. I don't know if I can survive this cold winter and lunar month while I am cultivating in Jingzhou. I have already run out of fuel after working so hard. Even without the battle of Fancheng, I wouldn't be able to survive much longer. It's day!"

Pang Ji raised his head, glanced at Zhang Hu, and said softly, "Are you going to be buried with me?"

Although Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng are scholars, they can be regarded as scholars, but they were born in poor families, and they only had the first teacher, not even a serious teacher. Their characters were all taken by Pang Ji back then.

One is named Yanzhi and the other is named Hongzhi.

"Perhaps Fancheng can hold on!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hu's heart skipped a beat. He also knew Pang Ji's physical condition, but he was not reconciled: "As long as we defend Fancheng, I will immediately escort Ji Gong back to Xiangyang to raise troops!"

"Yanzhi, do you believe what you said?" Pang Ji asked him with a flat smile.

Zhang Hu fell silent for a moment.

He himself didn't dare to believe these words, so how could he convince others that Fancheng fell, that was already a fact, it was only a matter of time.

"Let's go, go with Wenpin!"

Pang Ji said quietly: "No matter what, it is a fact that you saved Wenpin. In Jingzhou in the future, you will only be able to rely on him!"

"Ji Gong, do you hate Chen Sheng?"

Zhang Hu asked suddenly.

It wasn't Chen Sheng, they wouldn't lose so badly in this battle, even if they suffered a loss, at least they still had a chance to keep Fancheng, but because of one Chen Sheng, all their strategic deployments went wrong, and they were defeated. Return, lose troops and lose generals.

After counting the battlefield, he even counted the defeats, and he was sure how to clean up the mess, but after all, he never thought that there would be a Chen Sheng. The first defeat, the second defeat, not only damaged the Jingzhou Army, but also took away two thousand soldiers from the Jiangxia camp, three defeats, defeated the morale of the army, Chen Sheng is considered a high-ranking general, one of the main generals, now surrendering to the enemy, the influence is too great, the morale of the army is natural unstable.

"hatred?"

Hearing this, Pang Ji shook his head: "He just made his own choice. In troubled times, heroes rise together. Ming lords seek virtuous ministers, and talents choose heroic lords. He did nothing wrong, and Jingzhou is sorry for him. It's only natural, but I didn't expect that he could hide his emotions so well in front of the old man, which made the old man look away, but it made the old man look a little different!"

He respects Zhang Hu more than Chen Sheng.

But he didn't expect Chen Sheng to hide so deeply.

He paused, and then said: "Besides, in terms of friendship, Chen Hongzhi is still not cruel enough. He let you all go at Qingshuikou. What is bad is the strategic intention of the entire Mu army. Otherwise, this battle alone will kill us in Jingzhou. The soldiers and horses were completely annihilated, and the merits he made by surrendering may not be guaranteed because of this release, and his life will not be saved!"

"Is it that serious?"

Zhang Hu paused.

"If you were the chief general of the Mu army, what would you think?" Pang Ji said softly.

"if it was me……"

Zhang Hu thought about it, and put it in another place. If he was the coach of the Mu Army, and the duck suddenly flew away when he saw the duck was cooked, he would probably kill him in a fit of anger as the instigator.

"This is his own choice!" Zhang Hu hardened his heart: "He deserves his death, but if he lives, I will take his life on the battlefield in the future!"

"Death, I guess they won't die. The Mujun army will not lose their will to fight just because of the battle in Fancheng. Their goal is to take Xiangyang. They will definitely set an example. The defectors, high-ranking officials and rich salaries, but will they be punished in the future?" It’s hard to say if it’s reused, you brothers may really face each other on the battlefield one day!”

Pang Ji's eyes were deep and his voice was soft, and he said: "That's what will happen in the future. The only chance for you to survive now is that you and Wenpin go together. Once Fancheng falls, Xiangyang will be in trouble. More troops, more troops." I'm not doing it for you, but more for Jingzhou!"

"Ji Gong?"

Zhang Hu still couldn't leave: "I don't want to leave!"

"Let's go!" Pang Ji coldly shouted, his breath was weak, and all his energy and spirit were in this drink.

"Ji Gong take care!"

Knowing that Pang Ji was determined, Zhang Hu burst into tears and turned to leave.

…………

……

Its daybreak.

The beating drums outside the city sounded louder and louder, like heavy waves, trying to cover Fancheng in one fell swoop.

"attack!"

Zhou Cang received twenty army sticks last night, but it seemed that nothing happened. He took the lead and charged first. The warships on the moat paved the way, rushed under the city gate, and directly attacked the south city.

"attack!"

"attack!"

The Violent Bear Army charged forward one after another.

Although there were obstacles in the city, the attack went smoothly. Even without other siege equipment, just the ladder, they had already crossed the city wall and entered the city quickly.

But after entering the city, they encountered some troubles.

"All the people are soldiers?"

Zhou Cang looked at the simple fortifications piled up in the streets and alleys, and then looked at the ordinary people holding hoes and sickles, his complexion suddenly became ugly.

"General Zhonglang, what should we do?"

Pei Yuanshao asked: "Will you kill him?"

"Are you going to kill?" Zhou Cang gave him an idiot look.

"I can't do it!"

Pei Yuanshao said truthfully.

"what happened?"

Huang Zhong led the main force behind and entered the city immediately. When he saw Zhou Cang's soldiers and horses stopped, he stepped forward alone and asked immediately.

Zhou Cang smiled wryly, and said to the front: "General, they are all ordinary people!"

"Is the Jingzhou military residence so appealing?"

When Huang Zhong saw it, his face became gloomy.

"It's not the Jingzhou army!"

Xi Zhicai also came up, shaking his head: "It's Pang Ji, he is a great Confucian in Jingzhou, and in his capacity, what he said is undoubtedly sacred to ordinary people, and we are indeed the attacking party. It's the aggressors, and it's no wonder they reacted like that!"

"Does he think that this can stop us?"

Huang Zhong clenched his fists.

"It's not blocking, it's entanglement!"

Xi Zhicai said: "The scouts discovered just now that the Jingzhou army has broken through the encirclement and is heading towards Xiangyang. Zhang Liao is outside the city, so he can command the warship to go down the river, but there are no troops on land. If you cooperate, you won't be able to stop them!"

"Pang Ji!"

Huang Zhong is from Nanyang, how can he not hear the name of the great minister of the Pang family, how much he admired him before, but now he is so angry, because one Pang Ji has caused their Mu army to lose a lot of strength.

Now I'm stuck here, it's not good to get in, it's not good to not get in.

"General Han Sheng, we took Fancheng. Pang Ji did this only in the hope of buying time for Wenpin and the others to leave Fancheng. Let them go!" In a few days, they will naturally retreat!"

"it is good!"

Huang Zhong complied helplessly. It is possible to kill the past by force, but they still can't do it if they want to massacre the city, and now the victory is certain.

"Where is where?"

Suddenly, thick smoke billowed above a place in the city.

"It's the county government!"

Someone called out.

"What a Pang Ji!" Xi Zhicai stood on the city wall, looked ahead, suddenly figured everything out, and said softly: "If he dies, let us be with him. If he dies, the people of Fancheng will die." The people's sentiments are raging, and we need more energy to suppress Fancheng, and if we don't have the strength to suppress it in the future, we will suffer backlash!"

"You said Pang Ji set himself on fire!"

Huang Zhong froze for a moment, all the anger disappeared, and he was a little sad. After all, he still admired this great Confucian in Jingzhou.

"Since he has chosen cover, he will not be able to get out of Fancheng. If he can't get out, and he doesn't want to be our prisoner, then he has only one way left, death!" It is his reputation as a great Confucian, and it is also his face!"

"He risked his life for Jingzhou?"

Huang Zhong couldn't understand.

"He's going to die soon!" Chen Sheng stood beside the two of them, and after a long, long silence, he said quietly: "To him, he is in pain, and maybe death is the only relief!"

As he spoke, he bowed his head and said, "General Huang, playing Sima, Chen Sheng made an unreasonable request, hoping to collect his body!"

"Go!"

Huang Zhong waved his hand.
